Lyrics:
Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

[@Michael-yd6wd]

This was one of their best songs. I too hope they can bury the proverbial hatchet on their issues because the two are phenomenal

[@mcculljo]

The irony of this video almost 40 years later as it starts with Daryl walking away to play alone. Chills!

[@jonmcclane7433]

One of their most under appreciated songs. Love it.

[@runnerlegend7726]

Agreed! Very underplayed.

[@pfdtx4633]

They have so many gems like this song that aren't on most people's radar. I think I used an Electric Mistress and RAT pedal to get kinda close to the power chord sound on guitar back in the day. I think they're an under appreciated band overall.

Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

[@arupguha7327]

I just recently found out this song and it's just amazing

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

Yeah, this is one of my favorite Daryl vocals

[@saladincrawford8391]

This was probably their most underrated song. It peaked at #18 pop, #85 on the r&b charts.

[@norfolksouthernrailfan2006]

After this song, their popularity started to decline except for a few more songs, Everything your heart desires #3 in 1988 and So Close #11 in 1990.

[@randyb.hughes4609]

But they sit at number Number One All Time as far as Chart and Sales Pop Duo. It s going to be hard to Dethrone Them....All things Rise, Peak and Fall.

[@davidbalzano7025]

They still managed to get another top 40 hit, Possession Obsession off this album, then Hall had Dreamtime off a solo album and a few more hits came. Their earliest hits were from '73/'74, so overall a pretty awesome run and nice to see the Rock and Roll HOF finally gave them their due.

[@JulieBragg-gl5xw]

Totally agree!❤

[@darkshad0wz69]

the song pretty much sums it up for life in general Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken

[@JohnOrbit]

I remember watching this on MTV in my grandmother's basement. This song still gives me chills. Amazing!

[@TheSolidsoundwavesif]

Chills ❄

[@robertwhite9898]

These Lyrics still hold true ! Some things are better left unsaid ! This is prevalent today as it was back then .

[@carriehadley5123]

I love this song. You never here this one on the radio.

[@avengerscap]

This song is so underrated--it's my favorite of theirs.

[@micjakes1]

Sucks this never made it high on the charts. This song is amazing. First time hearing it today.

[@cnance1972]

I remember it being my fav song (still top 3) off the album in 84 .... Wow just to be there for one breath

[@johnreece5540]

Maybe a vintage movie will place it on their soundtrack. Thus, creating a wave of interest of Fan's from this current Generation. This song is on of Hall and Oates best.

[@morenomingioni5874]

I loved it til the 1st time I watched video on our Italy Deejay Television 😍 Immediately bought Big Bam Boom album 😍

[@johnlloyd913]

Top 20 still isnt bad to peak on the charts, I think most of it would be because the album was released 5 months earlier. Most people would have had the album by the time this was released as a single

[@Espectro101]

This was like the 3rd or 4th single from the album. I think by this time most people had already purchased the album so that impacts the sale of the single release.

[@TheRedDevil_NC]

Should have atleast 10 million views.

[@JPUPPY928]

This tune defines the 80s to me. It is still one of the BEST songs of the era & one of my FAVES. It takes me back & fills me with so much happiness from my youth. The 80s rule. I miss that time of my life....

[@dwilliams5700]

For Sure 💯💯💯

[@reginaldwebster9243]

I feel this is just one of their many masterpieces ! One special masterpiece is the song Paul Young took to the top of the charts "Everytime You Go Away"(you take a piece of me with you) ... simply magnificent !

[@mcclift9451]

Me too my friend

[@nancyglem]

Well said! I agree with you 💯! I do miss the 80's. They were a awesome time in my life❤️

[@boscolebosco1253]

The whole decade was one long parade of one great song or video after another. One fell of the charts or out of rotation and there was another one to take it’s place. I loved it back then, but now I just gape at it in awe and consider myself lucky to have grown up through it.

[@gabrielpalacios624]

The 80s were and still is a party

[@tlkon53]

One of their most underrated songs...

[@gspendlove]

I love how Daryl takes off his badass longcoat....and he's wearing a leather jacket under that! 80s style was bitchin!

[@TomG1555]

Agree...and also practical, as you don't want to get leather soaked or wet if you can help it.

[@Loloopy]

This song always comes to mind when I'm about to post something I shouldn't on the internet. Thank you for the life advice Hall & Oates

[@pfdtx4633]

Same here. Song pops in my head when I have doubts.

[@christymaetion8017]

True

[@soniaidalid]

I apply these lyrics often!

[@mcclift9451]

Yea, sometimes all you get is one shot,don't blow it with you mouth and consider the consequences.

[@leonardrice2728]

Daryl and John still rock after all this time!

[@SLIZZARD]

This is still one my of my favourite H&O songs. The band should play this more when they tour again

This Song Went To Number 18 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1985.

[@sulatlalaki]

This is my favorite song of theirs. Their sense of Melody has always just been so fantastic.

[@user-bn7bk5mw4s]

Me too. Always reminded me of someone I could have had. But let it go

Yes!!

Actually Johnny Oates has a better voice.

[@scooterthepog3763]

@@jimmy5634 I agree John has a better voice but, Daryl has a voice that anyone could like. He is such a perfect voice for radio hits. In my opinion I couldn’t imagine John singing some of there biggest hits.

Daryl and John had the most underrated yet dynamic band of musicians on their side. You have Charlie, Mickey, T-Bone, and G.E. delivering a kick-ass, power-driven rhythm that took the songs, particuarly this one, to almost ethereal levels rarely heard before or since.

[@laurensalamone4727]

Never heard a song so true to life. These are principles to live by. It was one of their best songs. I play it quite often. Its biblical in its foundation.

[@corinnechevreux9304]

Really love this song, thanks To you guys that I love since I'm 13 and I'm now 58!!!❤❤❤❤

[@alexandersmith5429]

I feel like I could run away Looking at a darker day Oh, I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes It's true, moody manners come and go And it's better that you never know Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken My ideas seem to frighten you Are you really that afraid to move? Oh, I guess that it's your right to reason I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong The force is stringing us along Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken Some lives are better left untouched Some lies are better off believed Some words are better left unspoken You're living a lie, yeah There's say Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some things Some things are better left unsaid Some lies are better Some things are better left unsaid Some hearts, better Some things are better left unsaid Some lies are better Some things are better left unsaid Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some strings Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid Some hearts, better Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid Some things are better left Some things are better left unsaid Some strings Some things are better left unsaid Some lives are better Some things are better left unsaid

I've seen these boys at least three times, more than anyone else. Not only do they still sound fab in their 70s, they rocked that big Eighties hair in this video.

[@dashlandb6493]

This video was filmed in Hampton Coliseum, Hampton VA... I was in the audience front row singing away and standing on my seat. I'll never forget how awesome that was!!!

THE best song they ever did. Saw them in concert in 1985 (i think) but regardless of the year, the best concert I've ever seen. I've seen over 300 concerts so that says something!!!

Dealing with a force that's so strong, the forces string us along!!!!

[@fairdose]

This song brings back the spring of 1985 like nothing else for me, remember being in the 6th grade and hearing this on a field trip to Quebec City and feeling apprehensive since it was my last year in elementary school and the following year would mean high school and becoming a teenager and feeling confused about childhood slipping away too quickly.

[@ghettowizard378]

it's a very simple video, but I always liked it!!! seen them in concert at mystic lake hotel and casino in the late 90's and they still rocked!!! I yelled for them to play this song all night and they actually played it later in the set!!! when John oats smiled at me, I know they did it for me and my wife!!! there classy, cool, professional group and still the best of friends!!!

[@pastamasta69]

DAMN this is a great song... and then it hits 3:50 and kicks it up a notch and becomes epic as hell

You know this is been a favorite era of mine 4 Hall & oats but I would be remiss if I didn't give props where props are due and acknowledge G E Smith the guitar player that played on some of their best stuff in the 80s who also was the band leader on Saturday Night Live during the late 80s early 90s. He was a wicked awesome guitar player and I wish that Daryl would have him at Daryl's House to play some sessions with them. He's truly amazing and crazy underrated.
